Take control of a magic pen and draw the cutest monsters to bring them to life. Collect each monster to use their special abilities each round or affect your final score. In Ink Monsters, you use movement cards to influence where the pen is placed. Sometimes you'll move to get the best cards for yourself, and at other times you'll try to set up your opponents to draw monsters with negative effects. The gameplay mechanisms are simple, but the strategy goes much deeper the more you learn how different monsters interact with each other.
